Re: Fule pump working but wont start 78-99 Posted by 79-900t [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Fule pump working but wont start 78-99, Larry Jenkins, Mon, 25 Oct 2004 09:55:58 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
The fuel metering piston in the fuel distributer could be stuck, this would cause there to be no fuel to the injectors.
Check 1: Try and operate the air flow meter plate with fuel pump running to see if fuel flows to injectors.
Check 2: You can remove the distributer and check this fairly easy if you are careful. Disconect the fuel lines, and remove the three screws that hold mount the distributer, when you lift the distributer off, make sure the metering piston does not fall out (this shouldn't happen if it is stuck though). Carb cleaner can be used to free the metering piston. Make sure the metering piston moves freely and does not get dropped, a slight nick will cause the metering to not move freely or become stuck.
My metering piston in my fuel distributer was stuck open causing a the enigne to flood. I removed the feul distbuter and freed the metering piston with carb cleaner and insured it moved freely.
